Wanda Lewis had a show for 35 years on WCPO-TV on the Uncle Al show.

Cincinnati TV pioneer Wanda Lewis, best known as Capt. Windy on the Uncle Al Show, has died at age 94.

Lewis, widow of longtime children's TV host "Uncle Al" Lewis, was a WCPO-TV staff artist who started her on-air career in the early 1950s on WCPO-TV's Paul Dixon Show, where she pantomimed, danced and drew pictures to popular records.

The Uncle Al Show broadcast 14,000 episodes over 35 years on WCPO-TV (1950-85), entertaining two generations of area children and providing special memories for those kids (including me) who attended a live broadcast. Uncle Al also aired one year on the ABC network, from Oct. 18, 1958 to Sept. 19, 1959, according to Alex McNiel's "Total Television."
